Incidents During and Following the Aw-
full Tragedy,

CHICAGO, November 11th.-It was Won
derful to note how quickly the extreme ex-
citement which had filled the Jail all morn
ing calmed down. The 200 prisoners con-
fined in the place, who had been in fever
heat during the tragic event of the day, re-
gained their usual spirits. They cracked
jokes from cell to cell and as they had had
nothing to eat since breakfast, they soon
began to yell for "soup," soup"
The spectators who had witnessed the
hanging walked rapidly out of the entrance
and the weary deputies went to dinner,
the only ones left in the Jail Office being
the press representatives.
Curious police officials walked into the
Jail to learn how the execution had been
proceeded with, and were IN turn ques-
toned as to how the citizens outside had
acted.
There was absolutely no trouble" one
and all replied.

and the condemned men upon it. AS the
grim moment approached the men on the
roof kept the officers below informed of the
proceedings inside.
As II o'clock drew near, policeman
who was straining his eyes to see the in.
terror of the Jail raised his hand and with
out turning his head aside, said in thrilling
undertones, They are putting on the
caps" For an instant cluster of officers
waited below with bated breaths and heads
half-inclined to one side, waiting to hear
the news of the drop.
A reporter drew white handkerchief
from his pocket and waved it as a signal.
Inc CROWDS passing along North Clark
street understood it. A cry went up and in
an incredibly short space of time the in
teligence was blocks away.
The buzz and hum of the excited CONVEX
sation sounded like the rising of tide.
Armed patrolmen stopped in their regular

THE CROWD SCATTERED.
The others broke off in their hoarse
